The University chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity was found Friday not to be responsible for the severe injuries sustained by a party guest last July.

The motion will relieve the fraternity of any obligation to pay the more than $100,000 medi-cal expenses of the guest.

The Athens-Clarke County Superior Court decision comes as a relief to the fraternity, which

was also involved in a dispute with its insurance company over who would pay the guest, a female student at another uni-versity, if her claim was upheld.

Yesterday, Sigma Chi issued a motion to stop the insurance company lawsuit, now moot after Friday’s decision.

As long as the plaintiff decides not to appeal the decision, the lawsuit is over for the fraternity. However, the responsibility of fraternity member William Forrest Sylvester is a matter to

be decided by a jury, according to documents obtained by The Red & Black.

The lawsuit came after Sylvester invited the then 19-year-old plaintiff to a fraternity party, where she was served alcohol to the point of extreme intoxication. Sylvester took the woman to his room, undressed her and helped her into his loft bed, where he left

her alone for 45 minutes.When Sylvester returned, the

woman was on the ground, bleed-ing and severely injured. Rather than call an ambulance, he got another fraternity member to help dress her and drive her to the hospital. Upon arrival, the plaintiff’s blood-alcohol content was found to be 0.314 — a level which could be deadly for a woman her size — indicating the plaintiff “would have been regarded as stuporous” when placed in the loft bed.

Because the woman was vol-untarily intoxicated, the court held her to be as responsible for her own actions as if she were sober. The court determined the fraternity was not responsible for her injuries because the slight danger associated with the loft bed would have been avoidable for any responsible person.

The court ruled Sylvester could be liable because he took responsibility to help the woman and “failed to exercise ordinary care” by leaving her in his bed.

Artist Darren Mayner finds pricing his work difficult because each piece is very time consuming.

Seminar program to cost $1 million

By POLINA MARINOVATHE RED & BLACK

The University will spend close to $1 million per year on a new program for first-year students, according to a University official.

The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) Team, consisting of faculty, students, alumni and staff, met for the first time in the spring of 2008 to create a plan to satisfy the University’s accreditation requirements by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

The team polled a number of freshmen, and the results

revealed stu-dents’ prima-ry complaint was a lack of personal rela-tionships with professors.

To address this issue, the team came up with a pro-posal to make first-year sem-

inars mandatory.“It was a process of mak-

ing a choice between some really good alternatives,” Associate Provost for Academic Planning Bob Boehmer said. “But ultimate-ly, once the debate was fin-ished, there was strong sup-port from the team for the [proposal] that was chosen.”

The SACS Leadership team made the final decision and chose to further develop “The Integrated Program for First-Year Experience,” which will require freshmen enroll-ing in the fall of 2011 to take

One might call Darren Mayner a jack of all trades – or at least a jack of all magnitudes.

The senior ceramics student flirted with small-scale and metal-work and large-scale sculpture before uniting with his one true love. Mayner knows one thing to be true as an artist: we really are living in a material world with a lot of choices.

“Jewelry was a little bit too small, sculpture was a little bit too big and ceramics was just right,”

Mayner said. While he still dabbles in other

mediums, the California native loves the instant gratification of working with clay.

“Ceramics is extremely respon-sive. You see your product take shape first, then the process comes after that,” he said.

After working with unforgiving textiles like metal and steel, he feels less pressure on the wheel.

“Clay can be recycled over and over again,” he said. “If you’re unhappy with the product, you smash it, dry it out, wet it down and start over again. You can be very experimental with forms and shapes. I think you can have more fun.”

Without the burden of cumber-some gadgets, Mayner can manip-

ulate his work on a more personal level.

“People who have worked in steel for years will have thousands of dollars in tools – grinders, saws, band-saws, horizontal band-saws, cutting torches, plasma torches, acetone – everything needed to create a finished product in steel is a garage full of stuff,” he said. “With clay, it’s only your hands between the brain and the materi-al.”

Unlike some other art forms, Mayner has found that selling functional ceramic pieces can make getting his money’s worth a little tricky.

“It’s a strange balance between craftsmanship and production

If passed into law, a new excise tax could increase costs for indoor tanning salons — and their customers.

By PAIGE VARNERTHE RED & BLACK

Starting July 1, using indoor tan-ning beds to darken your skin could lighten your wallet.

If signed into law, the $871 billion HR 3590, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, would impose a 10 percent excise tax on indoor tanning services using ultravi-olet lamps to induce skin tanning.

The tax is projected to raise $2.7 billion over 10 years in order to offset the cost of providing health insur-ance to millions more Americans.

Maran Irwin, a sophomore from Ocilla, uses the tanning bed at Silver Sun Tan USA on Alps Road about once a week, though she used to tan three times a week.

“I cut back because I try to be more conscious of skin cancer,” she said.

If Silver Sun Tan raises prices in July because of the tax, Irwin said she would probably go less often.

“I don’t feel like having to pay for a tax for something like tanning,” she said. “It’s scary because me going to the tanning bed doesn’t affect any-body else’s health. I don’t see why I have to pay for someone else’s.”

Marilin Goff, a junior from Cumming, also disagrees with the tax.

“I don’t think tanning is their busi-ness to tax,” she said. “I don’t use the tanning bed often enough to warrant paying a lot more.”

Image Tanning, said the tax is unfair for women.

“It will hurt more than help,” she said. “It will defi-nitely decrease consumers in the industry.”

Some tanning salons might be able to absorb the tax so consumers will not be charged more, but Zaworski said this might not be the case for Solar Image Tanning.

“Our owner owns this one and another, so the tax will be passed on [to cus-tomers],” she said. “It will definitely have a negative effect.”

Bobby Andres, presi-dent of the University’s Young Democrats, said the tanning tax is similar to proposed “sin taxes” on soda.

“It’s included because of the risk of cancer,” he said.

Andres also said the debate about the tax may be moot.

“The likelihood of the bill passing decreased sig-nificantly with [last week’s special election in Massachusetts],” he said.

L a s t w e e k , Massachusetts voters elected a Republican to fill Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s Senate seat.

Sen. Kennedy, a Democrat and major sup-porter of a health care overhaul, died of brain can-cer on Aug. 25.

With Republican Scott Brown in the Senate, the Democrats have lost their filibuster-proof, 60-vote majority.

John Overstreet, the executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Indoor Tanning Association, said this tax is an example of what is wrong in Washington.

“It’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of,” he said. “And they call this respon-sible legislation and tax policy? It’s crazy.”

Overstreet said the tan-ning tax is a replacement for the “Botax,” a five per-cent tax on elective cos-metic procedures originally included in the bill but lob-bied against by doctors and industry groups.

“Rich doctors and rich patients had a vested inter-est in this,” Overstreet said. “The tanning tax throws small businesses, working people and college kids under the bus.”

Overstreet said that tan-ning salons would probably pass the tax on to consum-ers.

“The price might increase by $5 or $6 on indi-vidual sessions,” he said.

Individual sessions at Silver Sun Tan range from $3 to $30.

Because consumers often use disposable income to tan, Overstreet said people will be less inclined to spend more money on tanning, which will hurt small businesses.

Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., does not support the tanning tax either.

“Sen. Isakson does not support the tanning tax as a pay-for for health care reform or as a stand-alone policy,” Sheridan Watson, the senator’s press secre-tary, told The Red & Black. “He believes it inequitably singles out a specific industry, mostly small businesses, and will inevitably be passed on to consumers.”

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., isn’t a proponent of using tanning beds, but he doesn’t support the tax.

“While I ... believe it is an unhealthy habit, I am not supportive of raising taxes on the backs of hard-working Americans to pay for this health care bill,” Chambliss told The Red & Black.

“I believe the American people would benefit great-ly from senators on both sides of the aisle going back to the drawing board and coming up with real, mean-ingful health care reform that utilizes tax breaks and tax credits, preventative care and competition to bring down health care costs,” he said.

The Exchange at Athens will not charge residents extra to use its tanning bed, said Brad Baker, the assistant property manag-er.

“We have it as a service,” he said. “It’s included in the rent, but we’re not going to tax the rent or charge the resident in any way.”

A semester has passed since students first met their room-mates — and some who are happy with their living situations attri-bute their success the University’s roommate-matching service.

“Our philosophy of assigning students rooms and roommates is that the more control that the students have in that process, the more satisfied [they are],” said Shay Little, director of adminis-trative operations for University Housing.

Little said students who choose their own roommates are much happier than if the roommate was randomly assigned: “It promotes more student ownership over any kind of issue that may come up,” she said. “If there was a conflict between persons who choose each other, the issue would most likely dissipate — there’s more respon-sibility.”

Dawg House assists students in learning about potential room-mate matches. Students create a personal profile, which they update regularly. The service searches through other students’ profiles and compiles a match list of students with similar interests and common ideas about living in the dorms.

“It felt like we were dating each other,” said Freshman Gina Torcivia from Suwanee, who used the Dawg House service to find her roommate in Rutherford Hall. “There’s a survey application that you fill out about your interests [and] your major. It matches up with your best fit, your best match, your soul mate.”

Instead of rooming with her best friend, fearful of ruining the relationship, Torcivia valued the help the matching service provid-ed.

“I’d rather live with someone [I would choose] — not necessarily a

random person, because you never know who you’re going to get stuck with,” she said.

Torcivia’s roommate, Freshman Kayla Murphy, was also afraid of being assigned a random room-mate.

“I’d suggest people [use Dawg House]. That way, at least you know what you’re getting into,” Murphy said. “I just think it’s smarter to have an idea of who you’re going to be living with. I mean, who knows who you’re going to get?”

Alison Cundiff, a junior from Lawrenceville, said her random roommate assignment turned out to be exactly what others fear — horrible. After unsuccessfully choosing her first roommate, Cundiff moved from Brumby to Creswell near mid-term of her first semester in 2007.

“The problem with moving to Creswell, that I didn’t really think about, was that I was going to be with a random roommate,” she said. “I should really, maybe, have thought that over a little better.”

With her random roommate situation, she now had to share her room with a stranger. After their first meeting, Cundiff’s new roommate shared information about her involvement in illegal activities.

“I didn’t ask [her] to volunteer the information,” Cundiff said.

Cundiff said she also didn’t like her roommate’s late-night parties in the dorm.

“One night — it’s maybe mid-night — and I needed to get to bed. She’s hanging out with some guys. She didn’t know them until she offered them alcohol,” Cundiff said.

When Cundiff asked the visi-tors to leave, the roommate aggressively packed up her things and left with her friends.

“I was really freaked out,” Cundiff said. “She’d been threat-ening. It was so absurd. It was like some kind of pleasure den — it might have been very fun if it wasn’t our dorm.”

Cundiff said the roommate later vandalized the room. The

damage consisted of pizza sauce and toppings all over the room and the disruption of Cundiff’s personal things.

“I came home from classes and the room was trashed. My mat-tress was on the other side of the room. They took my deodorant, the one thing I didn’t put away, and wrote things with it — none of which they spelled correctly,” she said.

Seeing the room and its destruction, Cundiff involved her hall’s Resident Assistant, and the police were notified. Cundiff said the University police officers were understanding, and she said she is thankful for their help.

Even though the matter was resolved, Cundiff said the situa-tion was difficult to get through. She was not allowed to let her friends know where she was stay-ing until the problems had been addressed.

“Those guys — [the room-mate’s] friends — were wandering around my old floor, looking for me,” she said.

NEWS The Red & Black | Tuesday, January 26, 2010 | 3

By TIFFANY STEVENSTHE RED & BLACK

Pope Pius XII, who served during the Holocaust, is being consid-ered for sainthood.

Kathleen Grissom, a Catholic freshman from Johns Creek, said the nom-ination of Pope Pius XII might have some merit.

“I think he did offer ref-uge to a lot of Jewish refu-gees, so that might be one reason to consider him for sainthood,” Grissom said. “The average Catholic doesn’t have a lot of con-trol over beatification [the step before canonization]. But I’m sure there will be councils over it.”

Joel Marcovitch, direc-tor of Hillel — the Jewish Student Center at the University — said the cen-ter did not take a stance on the Pope Pius nomination.

“We at Hillel are about bridging the gap between the two religions and find-ing anything that can help us become close together,” he said. “It’s important.”

Father Neil O’Connell, an alumnus of the University with a doctorate in history, said some may find the possible canoniza-tion objectionable.

“I think the big issue would be his response to the fascist government in Italy, and the Nazi govern-ment in Germany and the persecution of the Jews,” O’Connell said. “That response is from major Jewish leaders in various parts of the world.”

O’Connell said the deci-sion about Pope Pius XII’s beatification would depend on the Vatican’s search of their archives.

“Some are saying he should be canonized, but some say we should wait

until the archives are opened up. And the Vatican has agreed to do this, but there seems to be a slowness to this,” O’Connell said. “I think it’s wise to wait, and I think there are a number of people that I would canon-ize before him.”

O’Connell said one woman stood out for poten-tial canonization.

“Certain people like Dorothy Day would be a very good one. She was originally a communist, and then converted to Catholicism and organized the Catholic Worker’s movement,” he said.

If Pope Pius XII did receive sainthood, he would be one of the few popes in the history of the church to be canonized, O’Connell said.

“There’s been over 200 popes in the last 2,000 years, and a lot of them have not

been canonized, and a lot of them were canonized in the early years because they were martyrs and being killed by the Romans,” O’Connell said. “That doesn’t mean that they’re bad guys either. Canon-ization is just a formal rec-ognition of sainthood, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t, for example, feel that your mother is a saint.”

O’Connell said though various global Jewish lead-ers were asking the Church to consider other nominees for sainthood, the Jewish community was not exclud-ing other influential Catholic leaders from that time peri-od in their suggestions.

“A lot of the Jewish lead-ers make a distinction between him and a number of Catholic leaders who did something,” O’Connell said. “So they are not taking on the whole Church, per se.”

Views on pope’s potential sainthood vary at University

a first-year seminar.“The idea of making it

mandatory is that we really want this to be a commonly shared experi-ence, where every first-year student is intro-duced to the concept of what is unique about a research university like UGA,” Boehmer said.

Franklin College now offers about 175 seminars per year. The compensa-tion for each faculty mem-ber is $400 per seminar. When the new program is implemented, tenure or tenure-track professors will teach a total of about 300 seminars per year, each with a maximum of 18 students. Professors will be compensated $2,500 per seminar.

“I think offering a monetary incentive would get some faculty on board to teach,” Jonathan Campbell, associate pro-fessor in the College of Education, said. “But I think the larger motiva-tion, from a faculty per-spective, would be the chance to build poten-tially long-lasting rela-tionships with students early on in their under-graduate career.”

Each student must complete a writing assignment for the course. Students would also participate in one “social” experience, such as dinner at the profes-sor’s home, for which professors will be reim-bursed by the University.

Senior Connor McCarthy, who also serves on the QEP Team, said other institutions, such as the University of California, Berkeley, have adopted similar plans.

“We did take input of other schools into account, and the stu-dents seem to be over-whelmingly supportive of it,” McCarthy said. “It’s a pretty progressive idea, but we’re not the first school to implement it.”

McCarthy said the seminar will give stu-dents a mentor and a person to come to with questions regarding aca-demic issues or recom-mendation letters.

“I think it’s a pretty powerful statement that the University is willing to put forth that money to enhance undergradu-ate learning and to really make sure that faculty will be a part of students’ lives,” McCarthy said.

The University will finalize the entire plan by the end of this semester and will submit the pro-posal to SACS by this fall. SACS will review the plan, and the first-year mandatory seminar pro-gram will begin in fall 2011.

WELCOME! CAMPUS INTERVIEWS AT UGA Each year, over 300 companies come

to The University of Georgia’s Career Center to interview students for entry-level, full-time positions and summer internships. While these companies rep-resent a small segment of potential employers, they are a very important group. They have identified UGA stu-dents as a good fit for their organization and are actively seeking our graduates.

The companies coming to campus represent a variety of industries, includ-ing: information services, commercial banking, financial services, consulting, sales, management, marketing, and retail. Students seeking jobs in areas that traditionally do not hold cam-pus interviews will be best served by working with one of the Career Center’s Career Consultants to create an individualized job search strategy.

All campus interviewing is managed through DAWGlink, which is accessed from the Career Center homepage at www.career.uga.edu. This software allows you to see the companies that have scheduled campus visits, view their company description, a description of the position(s) for which they are inter-viewing, and the date of their interviews. You may also submit your resume for consideration through DAWGlink. In addition, you may check the system to see if you are selected, and you may schedule a time for your campus inter-view. The program is accessible 24/7 from any computer with an internet con-nection. In fact, the Career Center finds that more students are on-line between midnight and 2 a.m. than any other time.

To learn more about DAWGlink and how to participate in campus interviews visit the Career Center on the 2nd floor of Clark Howell Hall, Monday – Friday during walk-in hours from 11am -1pm.

Spring Career Fair Section | Tuesday, January 26, 2010 | 5 Produced by The Red & Black in Cooperation with the UGA Career Center

Congratulations to both of the Georgia Basketball teams for such outstanding victories this past week. To beat a highly ranked team is one thing, but to outplay both of the Vols teams for forty minutes to garner Ws is another.

More impressive than anything else was the modus operandi of the Georgia teams; team play and defense, defense, defense. These victories ended long losing streaks going back to 2004, but were by no means flukes. They were well earned and well deserved.

Since 1979, Andy Landers has brilliantly coached the Lady Dawgs. By the looks of the Georgia men’s team this year, Mark Fox is doing the same outstanding job. Here’s to hoping he is still here thirty years from now.

Coach Mark Fox brings ‘energy’ and ‘potential’

As a UGA-bound high school senior in 2008, I was excited to see UGA win the SEC men’s basketball tournament after an “improbable” run.

Not only was my head filled with the prospects of a possible national football title, but now it was filled with fantasies of a competitive SEC basketball team as well.

When basketball season began last year, I quickly found this expec-tation to be only a figment of my imagination.

Eventually, my attendance at basketball games was based on the availability of free T-shirts, Cane’s coupons, and the possibility of a TV appearance. This was not the dream I had at the end of the 2008 season.

When Coach Felton was fired midseason, I doubted rumors of possible superstar basketball coaching hires because I did not want disappointment to rear its ugly head again. Then, I believed that my attendance for future games during my remaining col-legiate stay would continue to be based on material gain rather than true school spirit.

To tell the truth, I was some-what apprehensive when Coach Fox was hired.

To me and my friends, his pic-ture on Georgiadogs.com reminded us more of a high school physics teacher rather than a basketball coach who could resurrect UGA’s basketball team.

Even though his coaching bio was impressive at Nevada, I was convinced that Coach Fox might find coaching our team to success difficult in a larger, more competi-tive conference.

I write now because I stand cor-rected.

Although the men’s basketball team is barely above 0.500, I believe that Coach Fox has brought this program a new outlook, energy, and potential I didn’t believe was pos-sible.

In one offseason, this team, comprised mostly of returning play-

ers, has improved in all aspects, from disciplined warm-ups to free throw shooting.

Our 9-8 record does not illustrate how much the team has improved, nor does it portray our difficult schedule.

To place part of the season in perspective, four of the past five opponents have been nation-ally ranked teams; we finished 2-2 against these nationally ranked teams. Not one school in the nation has played a five game streak of that nature.

Therefore, I implore all students to fill Stegeman and support the men’s basketball team for the remainder of the season, as we did this past Thursday.

You ask why? Because it can only get better

from here.

‘Practical application’ lacking in experiment Ms. Varner,

While I find your experiment to be rather interesting, I can’t help but wonder if there could be a more practical application to it. Countless members of society at large, including our own Athens-Clarke community, are forced to live on such meager funds that the meal plan you have designed for yourself this week would seem downright luxurious to them.

It’s a reminder of our privilege and luxury that we are able to make decisions like this in the first place, whether it’s skipping out on Sunday take-out to trim your waist for a social, or on preparing meals for yourself for an entire week out of frivolous curiosity.

I wonder if you ever considered placing yourself in the position of, say, a single mother who has no choice but to skip meals so that her children can eat instead.

Perhaps next time, your social experiment could be repeated with the promise of sponsorship or some other humanitarian twist to raise food or money for the people who are all too used to the hunger you decided to try for fun.

No profit in Green fee for Go Green Alliance

In regards to the cartoon that ran in yesterday’s paper, there were two misconceptions.

First, Go Green Alliance will not be making a profit from the $3 Green Fee, nor will gnomes be col-lecting a profit like the South Park episode referenced by the cartoon-ist.

The Green Fee was estab-lished to support an Office of Sustainability and campus sustain-ability projects.

Secondly, we did not invent

the wheel when we came up with a “Green Fee.” University of California at Berkeley passed one of the first “green fees” three years ago to establish an office of sustain-ability and support campus initia-tives.

In Go Green Alliance’s pro-posal for an Office of Sustainability funded by a Green Fee, we specifi-cally outlined the mechanisms for allocating the money through a director and committee as well as potential uses for the fee.

This includes creating stu-dent internships in sustainability, restructuring of the Environmental Literacy program, providing better communication about environmen-tal efforts, funding student sus-tainability projects like Gameday Recycling, and ensuring more fund-ing for sustainable operations such as bio-diesel in the buses.

This was not a haphazard approach to create a superficial office.

Rather, it is the product of intense research on over 40 schools with offices of sustainability (there are many more), of which eight are peer and aspirational institutions with green fees and offices of sus-tainability.

Journalism

Homeopathy not remedy for any kind of sickness

The Jan 20 article “Herb Your Enthusiasm: Homeopathic reme-dies help with common student ail-ments” dealt primarily with herbal remedies.

I’d like to point out that the person who drafted the headline is mistaken in equating herbal remedies with homeopathic ones. Homeopathy is based on the idea that “like cures like” and that diluting a substance beyond the point where there is any left will make a “remedy”. (Please read the Overview section at www.homeo-watch.org for a better explanation.) Any good results people have after taking a homeopathic “remedy” are very likely the result of the placebo effect.

Readers who are thinking, “Homeopathy works for me!” owe it to themselves to read up on the principles behind it and see what they think about them.

Real world part of college experience

Basketball coach Mark Fox turning around teamE-mail and letters from our readers

Ay yo, HR 3590! Who is you?If signed into law, the Patient Protection and

Affordable Care Act would increase costs to hit the tan. Hello? Haven’t you heard of GTL? Gym. Tan. Laundry. That’s the routine before you go out.

The economy is bad enough as it is, and when you spend all your money from the T-shirt shop on hair gel and pickles for Snooki, we can’t be shelling out $5-6 more dollars on each tan sesh.

Not to mention, proposing this bill would be a punch in the face — from a dude to a chick — to small business owners. Mad respect for the little man.

It’s not the job of Uncle Sammy to regulate what we do to our bodies — in the tanning bed, or the master bed. Haaaa.

If this bill passes, you know we won’t give up the tan – they’ll have to rename the show Jersey Poor! We give HR 3590 two fist pumps down. And that’s the situation.

540 Baxter Street, Athens, Ga. 30605

The clock is ticking. I’ve got less than four months left

here at the University. I keep on hearing about how on May 8 I will finally enter the “real world.”

If I’m about to enter the real world, than can someone please tell me what I’ve been doing for the past three-and-a-half years?

The “real world” is just an over-used cliché. It doesn’t mean anything. My time in college has been very real. The lessons I have learned both inside and outside the classroom will stick with me long after graduation.

The friendships I have made will hopefully last for years to come. The fun times I have had, the knowledge I have gained, and mistakes I have made are no less real than any-thing outside of college. There is nothing about life after graduation that is more real than life at the University.

Life after graduation will certainly be different. However, graduation is not the end, nor is it the beginning. It simply marks a transition point in our continuing lives.

My very first semester here I took an introduc-tion to philosophy course. There is one work from that class which has remained in my mind all this time later. Plato’s “The Trial and Death of Socrates.” Socrates is shown to be the wisest of all men, but not because of his immense knowledge of the world. Socrates was wise because of his accep-tance of his own ignorance. He was wise enough to know that there was much he didn’t know and much that he did not under-stand.

It would be foolish of me to think that after four years in Athens I will have learned everything that I need to know to be suc-

cessful or happy in life. Learning is a truly life-long process that does not stop when you get that piece of paper on graduation day.

Knowing now that I really have to start looking at jobs, making plans, and figuring out my life after graduation is very nerve-racking. My tendency to procrastinate has long been one of my most frus-trating flaws, but this isn’t something that can be put off any longer.

Despite this fact, know-ing that I have to leave the University soon should not be seen as a scary thing. The world I am entering after graduation is not Mars or Jupiter. It’s the same world I’ve been living in for the past 22 years.

Calling life after gradu-ation the “real world” does a great disservice to the University and to the times we all experience while here.

I like to think of life after graduation as a new chapter in a book, rather than a new book in itself. We’re not starting from scratch; we’re just building on what we have learned and on what we have done.

There is a lot that I still have to learn and to live. There are a lot of chapters left to be written in my book. Those chapters will be forever linked to the ones that are being written right here and now.

Enjoy every sec-ond of your time at the University. Whether you have years left or just a few months, this time is as real as anything that lies ahead.

While race relations on our cam-pus may not be hostile, some University fraternities think they are far from resolved. Brothers from Phi Beta Sigma, a traditionally black fra-ternity, and Alpha Tau Omega have recognized this and are bringing the topic to the forefront in a panel dis-cussion today in hopes of finding some middle ground.

“We are really trying to combat the tension between the black and white students,” Rodd Cargill, a fourth year management student and vice presi-dent of the Zeta Nu chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, said. “We are collaborat-ing with Alpha Tau Omega because we just want to have a fair and uni-fied front.”

Entitled “The Race Card,” a three person panel will be asked questions by two moderators in regards to race divisions and cultural segregation on campus.

Dr. Dawn D. Bennet-Alexander, an associate professor of law and legal studies, and Wes Fugate, advisor to the University’s Interfraternity Council (IFC), will moderate.

Cargill and his fraternity brother, Kerrel Murray, designed the ques-

tions the panel will answer with the help of members of Alpha Tau Omega.

According to Cargill, the questions will be based around how the panel’s perceptions of different races have changed since they have attended the University and whether or not they feel as if an open dialogue between different races and ethnici-ties is encouraged.

Audience participation is not only allowed, but also highly encouraged. The three panel members are designed to act as catalysts for con-versation.

“I hope there’s an open dialogue and people aren’t afraid to speak out about how they see the University,” John David Williams, a panel member and sophomore telecommunications and film studies major, said. “The whole thing is about social barriers and breaking them down.”

He said that he hopes that identi-fying this issue publicly is the first step towards reconciling racial divi-

sions. Organizer Kerrel Murray, a third

year philosophy major, sees these segregations no longer as forced, but rather automatic.

“People don’t overlap when they join organizations when they come to UGA,” Murray said. “My hope is to just get those questions and com-ments out. It’s okay to have this dia-logue — it’s important to get this out.”

Cargill thinks that his personal experiences at the University may speak directly to what many others see and live on a daily basis.

“I know a lot of black people, but I really don’t know a lot of white peo-ple,” Cargill said. “We know if we host it by ourselves, we’d only have a black audience, so we wanted fair representation from both races.”

When approached by Phi Beta Sigma, Alpha Tau Omega members said they were eager and happy to participate. Williams agreed with Cargill about the separation, espe-cially in the Greek system.

“There seems to be a barrier between the IFC and black fraterni-ties,” he said. “We need to all come together to celebrate our common ties of brotherhood. We’re all part of a similar organization.”

Panel to discuss race relations

The winds of online networking are changing. The UGA Sailing Club members have their bows up and sails billowing in anticipation of where Vagabond-Sailing.com, a new sailing-based net-working site, can lead them.

The site, which just got off the ground last year, is designed to be a common meeting place for both sailing enthusiasts and interested novices where they can post profiles, join common interest groups and plan sailing trips together.

“We wanted to create something unique which incorporated our love for sailing and adventure,” co-founder Robert Patrick said. “Vagabond Sailing connects travelers to other travelers, and also to the sea, through hands-on sailing adventures.”

When asked how the social aspect of this site differs from Facebook, Patrick said Facebook keeps you connected to your friends and people you already know, whereas Vagabond Sailing is about creating new connections with people from all dif-ferent backgrounds.

His overall goal for the company is that users will have the opportunity to meet people from every corner of the globe, make travel plans and have sailing adventures together.

Dave Shaw, Vice President of the UGA Sailing Club, was especially interested in all of the oppor-tunities it opens up for the sailing club and poten-tial new members.

“It encourages long trips with people and con-nects people,” he said. “Even if you have never sailed before you can still sign up and learn once you get out on the water, so it would be great to get into sailing for the first time in a fun and approachable way.”

Even though he is sure that none of the mem-bers of the club will be making it to Vagabond’s first official sail from Balcelona, Spain to Italy, he is excited about the site’s networking potential to help the club organize much smaller sailing trips on their own.

“Of course international sailing is something I would love to do, and I like the concept,” he said. “But we are kind of holding out on that and plan-ning on finding some smaller ways to contribute.”

He thinks the club is going to try to use the site to network with other East Coast sailing clubs and charter smaller, more manageable trips up and down the coast together before they graduate to the long, and expensive, international trips that the Web site itself will organize.

“Right now we are really hoping the College of Charleston [will] join so we can do something with them and also that we can find some new members around Athens who want to try sailing but don’t know how and don’t know where to go to learn,” he said. “We are really just about getting people out on the water so they can experience it, and any way that can help us spread the word and network with people who share the same passion is great.”

Networking Web site is wind in the sails of Univ. club

speed,” Mayner said. As a student scraping by

financially, he understands the reactions to pottery sale prices. He also under-stands, however, that time is money, and even Shakespeare had to get paid.

“You can’t spend that much time [making a cup] because you know you’re going to sell this cup for no more than twenty dollars,” he said “It’s like you’re throwing your time away – but at the same time, you want to create something that is good.”

Mayner was quick to point out the irony of a starving artist slaving for hours, creating something unique, a piece of them-

selves, only to sell it to someone who resides with-in the slim percentile of Americans who can pay for it.

“No artists can afford that stuff that we create,” he said. “We rely on this alien group of people – people with stable jobs and disposable income. As sad as it is, art is a luxury.”

Mayner admits that, like most youth trying to make their way into the art world, he sometimes ques-tions the merit of it all.

“Sometimes we [art stu-dents] have a complex about ourselves. It’s an issue I struggle with. Sometimes I think, ‘Why are we going to school for this? We’re not helping any-one, we’re not doing any-thing good,’” he said. “But,

if you can snap out of it, you realize that art needs to happen. And why not? For practical concerns, no, it doesn’t make a lot of

sense. But if we all followed practical concerns, the world would be unexciting, uninteresting. We would all be accountants.”

Former Bulldog signs with Utah JazzBy RACHEL G. BOWERS

THE RED & BLACK

Sundiata Gaines — a former guard for Georgia — was signed by the Utah Jazz for the remainder of the NBA’s season.

The general man-ager of the Jazz — Kevin O’Connor — initially called Gaines up from the NBA’s Development League Jan. 5 for a 10-day con-tract, and resigned him on Jan. 15 for another 10-day.

Thus far in his short stint with Utah, Gaines is averaging 2.9 points per game and 1.1 assists per game, but nailed the game-winning three-pointer Jan. 14 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Leslie, Hassell earn SEC honors

Sophomore Travis Leslie of the Georgia men’s basketball team was named SEC Player of the Week after putting up 19 points and nine rebounds in the Bulldogs’ upset win over No. 8 Tennessee Saturday.

The Bulldog guard is second on the team in scoring and rebounding.

Freshman Jasmine Hassell of the Georgia women’s basketball team was named SEC Freshman of the Week. The 6-foot-2 forward stepped in for an injured Angel Robinson, scoring 20 points and grab-bing seven rebounds in the Lady Dogs’ last-minute 66-65 loss to Ole Miss Sunday.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK

GAINES

By NICK PARKERTHE RED & BLACK

Four of the NFL’s top-five ranked defenses ran a 3-4 defensive scheme dur-ing the 2009 regular sea-son.

And now Georgia’s new defensive coordinator Todd Grantham is bringing the same concept to the Bulldogs, joining defending national champion Alabama as the only other SEC school to utilize the 3-4 as its base package.

Grantham believes the 3-4 scheme is a better fit for matching the firepower of non-traditional offenses that have hit college foot-ball recently, such as Florida’s spread offense or Georgia Tech’s triple option offense.

“In the 3-4 you can be balanced,” Grantham said. “The thing with the 4-3 is the guys that are putting their hand in the dirt are the guys rushing. Whereas in the 3-4, I can tell you that the three guys with their hand in the dirt are coming but one of those other outside backers is going to be coming 95 per-cent of the time, so they have to account for all four of those guys on every snap. But yet only one of those guys could be com-ing.”

But with only three down linemen in the 3-4, the nose tackle becomes especially critical, as he is expected to take on two blockers in order to free up the two inside linebackers to roam and make plays. A common misconception, though, is that the nose tackle must be a massive space-eater in the mold of Alabama’s Terrence Cody.

“When we were in Dallas, Jay Ratliff made the pro

bowl as a nose tackle, and he’s an undersized nose tackle and we’re going to be more of a one-gap team so you can play with guys that are like that,” Grantham said.

The prime candidate on Georgia’s roster to fill the nose tackle position is 295-pound junior Deangelo Tyson.

“I think I’m going to be the one in the middle,” Tyson said. “If I am, I’m just going to work hard, learn it and play it to the best of my ability. I just feel like I would need to get stronger because you don’t want to get too big and not be able to move.”

Defensive ends in the 3-4 are expected to be greater in size than 4-3 defensive ends, and are relied on more for run sup-port and occupying block-ers than rushing the passer. Therefore, the pass-rushing responsibilities fall on the outside linebackers, who are bigger than their 4-3 counterparts.

“We’re going to attack blockers up front,” Grantham said. “Our out-side backers are going to be aggressive, they’re going to be solid on the edge in the run, and we’re going to develop those guys as pass rushers.”

As dramatic as the changes will be for the front seven, which could include many position changes, the secondary will largely remain unchanged by the switch.

“I think, from the sec-ondary’s vantage point, it doesn’t make probably that much difference because 4-3, 3-4 are still seven-man fronts,” new secondary coach Scott Lakatos said.

Whether it affects their potential position or not,

the potential is undeniable to Grantham’s new flun-kies.

“Alabama has a lot of people running to the ball, they create a lot of turn-overs, and they just had a great defense,” Jones said. “So when you see a team in your own conference run that type of defense against the same teams you play and have so much success, it makes you feel like you could do the same thing as they can.”

Defensive coordinator brings ‘balanced’ schemeOUT WITH THE OLD ...

... IN WITH THE NEW

THE 4-3 DEFENSIVE SCHEME:

Pros: The 4-3 can make it more difficult to run the ball with four down linemen clogging the gaps, and can be stronger up the middle.

Cons: With only three lineback-ers, the linebackers have to cover more ground and the defense can be more suscepti-ble to the short and intermedi-ate passing game.

THE 3-4 DEFENSIVE SCHEME:

Pros: The opposing offense has to account for the three down linemen and both outside linebackers because one of the outside linebackers is sent to rush the quarterback, making it more difficult on the quarterback to account for who is rushing. The 3-4 also allows the line-backers more freedom to roam and make plays, covering more of the field in the process.

Cons: The 3-4 puts more pres-sure on the three down linemen to stop the run with only three linemen to fill gaps; it can be vulnerable to the inside running game with only the nose tackle to take up blockers in front of the inside linebackers.
